An ode to love
a white marble mausoleum
a tear drop for a beloved
built for eternity bloom
On the banks of river Yamuna
A monument sophisticated in architecture
built by Shah Jahan
Taking more than 16 years
Standing today
as a poem for his beautiful beloved queen
Standing on the sands of time
The white marble tomb glistening far as eye can see
The pristine beautiful monument of love
Holding buckets of tears
and sadness wrapped deep inside
Dreams that died early
Memories that stayed lost in time
Today we watch in awe
This symmetrical marble tomb
Priding on its structure
taking pictures
Remembering stories
of a love that lived and got buried in pages of history
